Ringer stopped working and touch sensitivity is screwy on new phone
I've been having endless problems since I upgraded to the IPhone 4. I only got the phone on Friday, a couple of the problems have been resolved, but now there's 2 new ones.
First, the phone no longer rings. The only thing I did was to change the ringtone, and now it won't ring at all. I changed it back, and it still does not work. I've played with settings, ringer volume is at max, etc. I've missed several phone calls because of this (didn't feel the phone vibrate in my pocket -- seriously -- but when it's on a light table, I hear the table vibrate).
Second problem seems to only happen on some screens -- it doesn't always respond to my touch. I have no problem working with a calendar app, creating new appointments, or using the pop-up keyboard. But trying to change settings, turn a switch on or off, editing contacts can often be a study in frustration.
Another problem that I'm not sure has been resolved or not (as I've only had very short phone calls since the problem last struck) is dropped calls. After some research, it seems that this is a VERY common problem with the IPhone 4, yet the tech I spoke with was clueless. My previous Verizon phone was almost perfect so far as making phone calls. This one has been a nightmare. There was some kind of firmware update that was done during the last call to tech support, so I can't tell you if that fixed the problem or not. But at this point I'm ready to change phones. It's a piece of crap.
You need to get iTunes to recognize it. If your iPhone is working, which it is not, then a new screen would help. But you iPhone is broken beyond just a new screen. Now you can see why iCloud or even an iTunes Back Up is so important. iCloud back up is ideal for you, a one Apple device person, it automatically backs up your iPhone so there is a current back up ready to use anytime, especially in emergency like this. When you get your new iPhone, iPad anything use iCloudl it is free and simple.

Hi, I was wondering what is the warranty policy. A year ago I was using Iphnone 4 s and the camera stopped working and the carier gave me a new.
I couple of month ago I bought Iphone 5 and yesterday it just stopped working.
My question is want ca I do now? Do I need to go in an Apple store or in the office of the mobile carier I'm using.
Thank youType the S/N here and see if it is indeed covered for you: https://getsupport.apple.com/ProductSelector.action If yes, take it directly to Apple and avoid a runaround. If there's any issue with coverage or any other sh*t, take it to the carrier and let them deal with it, although it will probably take longer to sort out (but you may get lucky and be handed a refurbished unit right off the bat).
If possible try connecting it to a computer running iTunes to see if it shows up. That way you can back it up and save its contents for restoring onto whatever new device you get. -
The ringer switch on the side of my Iphone 4S has stopped working and the phone is now turning itself on and off silent without me touching any buttons. Will this be covered under warrenty? I have had the phone for less than a year. Although I have had the screen replaced, and wondered if this may void the warrenty?
Yes, the screen replacement (I am assuming by you our a 3rd party) voided your warranty.

2 of my movies are no longer working in my iTunes or on my iPod Touch, One doesn't play at all and the other gets to about 29:00 than stops working and I don't want to buy them again. Then also when I added a non-iTunes movie and tried to have iTunes make an iPod/IPhone version it gave me error -4. What's happening to my movies?
I also have to add that the right earbud only doesn't work on my phone while i'm listening to music. If I'm face timing it's okay. what the heck.

Hi, when ever I'm using 3G, on my Iphone4 sim stops working and network is lost, this started after I updated my phone with 6.0.1(10A523)version. Please help how to solve this problem. Thanks.
Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not synced. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not touched with the iTunes sync process. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer which is not handled by iTunes. Most importing software includes an option to delete the photos/videos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete. If is my understanding that some Windows import software supports importing photos from the Camera Roll, but not videos. Regardless, the import software should not delete the photos/videos from the Camera Roll unless you set the app to do so.
Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup. If you synced your iPhone with iTunes before the videos on the Camera Roll went missing and you haven't synced your iPhone with iTunes since they went missing, you can try restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the iPhone's backup. Don't sync the iPhone with iTunes again and decline the prompt to update the iPhone's backup after selecting Restore. -

HT201436 My ringer stopped working. Any ideas?
My ringer just stopped working and I can't get it back. I've only had the phone for a few days now. Very upsetting..:(
I had same problem. The ringer worked with headphones on. I went to settings, sounds, slid volume control for ringers and alerts down and then back up again and the ringer worked fine. Have no idea what the problem was, but this seems to have fixed it for now.

My iPod touch 4th generation charger just stopped working and I've only had it for about 2 or 3 months. Please help!!!
Then it should still be under warranty, so make an appointment at your local apple store and have them take a look at it.
If that's not a possibility and you want to troubleshoot, what do you mean by 'just stopped working'? What were you doing? Maybe some more info could help with troubleshooting. -
Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes
Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes to do a restore. I have tried to do a reset using the sleep button and home key and all I get is a white band across the screen and then it boots into the main system but it is just a series of white lines going across the screen, how can I do a restore on this?
Hey dbwithers,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPad after attempting to update to iOS 8. To isolate these issues, let’s try placing your iPad in recovery mode and attempting a restore with iTunes:

Hi, my ipad mini has suddenly stopped working and I cannot turn it off or connect it to the computer, can anyone help me on this??
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

4th Generation iPod: camera stopped working; I touch the icon, the screen goes blank navy blue. What do I do?
Have you tried closing the Camera app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open the app ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.
